Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good
"Clean, comfortable easy access location. 5 min walk to beach. 2 blocks. Directly Accross from Depot park where there is many soccer games. This is a great location to stay if you are doing the SC triathlons. Pool a bit cool and hot tub was comfortable but not hot. Jets in both hot tubs were not working. Pool area was clean and pool towels are provided. The in room shower was huge with two shower heads. Breakfast place across the street is yummy but cash only."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Unique, the snacks in the room are “complimentary “…sure, you’re paying for them in the long run, but it’s a totally different “feel” than places that put $5.00 bottles of water in the room. Staff extremely polite, attentive and helpful. Will stay again. Longer next time."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

8/10 Good
"Room and refrigerator were clean. Staff both reception and housekeeping were very accommodating. The breakfast buffet area always seemed a little cramped. Waffles were a hit but had to stand in line the first morning a long time as only two waffle makers. Almost always a line to make waffles. I guess the line depends on how many guests show up at the same time. Muffins were the same everyday, it would be nice to have options. Always plenty of bacon, scrambled eggs, and sausages. No hot chocolate packets :( but other option coffee, tea, milk, juices. There was a $25 parking fee per night and I didn’t remember that being mentioned prior to our stay. Around that area there were no other options for overnight parking so no choice. Good to know the parking area is secured. Easy walk to the beach wharf, boardwalk and downtown. Visited the Museum, lots of great I for about the bay. Fun for all ages. I stay definitely again."
